Comply 12

First year: ₹35,000–55,000 for a standard two-director Pvt Ltd (professional fee; MCA fees extra). LLP is usually lower. Confirmed after we see CIN, capital and whether books already exist.
If a portal incorporated you and disappeared, send COI + PAN. We pick up from the current MCA status — no lecture.
